Step by step directions? Lol
Hello!
I stumbled across this forum after scouring the Internet for info on conceiving girls. Thought I would reach out.
I have three boys, and we would like to begin trying for our fourth and final child in December. I bought the Babydust book, but feel sort of half-hearted about it. For one thing, I don’t like the odds of one Bd, multiple days before ovulating. I conceived all three of my sons easily and right away, and would really love another easy conception. Especially because I really want a September baby and that would mean I need to get pregnant the first month trying!
For another, Ive been tracking my ovulation this month, but it seems very unclear. I had quite a few days with dark lines, including some that were proceeded by a couple days of faint lines, then another day with a dark line! Huh?? I just don’t trust those strips—I can tell I’m ovulating now because I have sore boobs and clear, slippery CM and I don’t really get when the cutoff starts. I have had these symptoms for the past few days.
So, I’ve been perusing this and other boards, and just feel incredibly confused. There is so much conflicting advice out there.
I just want an “in a nutshell, step by step, do this” directions, because I feel confused and stressed. I desperately want a daughter, but I don’t know that I’m up for douching, checking PH, eating crappy fat-free food with artificial sweetners, etc.
Right now I’m thinking I would rather have sex starting after my period ends, daily or every other day for the frequent release factor?? (Or is that a total no no since it’s against Babydust), until I have CM. Then stopping. Skipping breakfast, doing cardio, and trying to cut back on snacking.
Is that enough?
I am a healthy eater and a very big eater...tons of snacks all day, lots of nuts, fruits, veggies, tons of Peanut butter, oatmeal, whole grains and breads. I eat very little meat and not a ton of dairy, either. I am a healthy normal weight. I don’t work out much. I got pregnant with my boys very easily and I know I was ovulating with the last two, not sure with the first (who was a surprise!). Not sure how many times we dtd those months that I conceived, but probably not that many, if more than one, honestly.
Thoughts?? Would love a game plan!
Thanks so much!
